NHL Player Of The Week
BILL BARBER…Philadelphia Flyers The Minnesota North Stars finger Bill Barber as the Flyer who did them in in their semifinal playoff series. To the Stars, Barber was simply too much to handle. The 27-year-old left winger scored a total of nine goals in the five-game series and his scoring exploits proved insurmountable as the Flyers ousted Minnesota 4-1 to advance into the Stanley Cup finals against the Islanders. Barber, who was blanked by the North Stars in the series opener, came back with one goal in game two and then exploded for four in the third game to put the Flyers ahead in the series to stay. He added two more in each of the fourth and fifth games to give him a total of 11, which, as he entered the finals, was…

North Division Teams Dominate All Stars
HARRISBURG—The North division had it all over the South in the 28th annual American Hockey League All Star team selections chosen by the league coaches for the Sunday Patriot-News of Harrisburg, Pa., and THE HOCKEY NEWS. The star-studded Northern teams claimed five of the six berths on both the first and second squads and would have registered a sweep had it not been for the South Division New Haven Nighthawks and Bill Lochead. The high-scoring Lochead was the biggest single pointgetter among the selecting coaches, who accorded him a unanimous vote for the first-team left wing berth. Maine and New Brunswick each placed four players on the two teams. While the coaches were definite in their All Star picks, the men behind the AHL benches had a tougher time trying to decide on the…
Miami Of Ohio Joins CCHA For Next Season
COLUMBUS—Miami University of Ohio has been accepted as a full participating member of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association for the 1980-81 season. Miami joins current CCHA members Bowling Green, Ferris State, Lake Superior, Northern Michigan, Ohio State and Western Michigan, but the Redskins will be unable to compete for championships or playoffs until the 1981-82 season due to a phase-in of schedules, according to commissioner Fred Jacoby. “Miami’s hockey program has experienced tremendous growth in recent years and enthusiasm on the campus has been at a high pitch since Miami played its first campus hockey game in 1976,” Jacoby said. During the 1976-77 and 1977-78 seasons, Miami’s hockey program had only a club standing. The Redskins attained varsity status in 1978-79 and recorded a 22-14-1 mark. This season as an independent, Miami had…
